How Does The LastPass Password Generator Work?
LastPass is a password manager solution, which stored and auto-fills a users’ many passwords from one central “vault”. A key feature of this service, available to users for free on their website, is the password generator.
This tool will create a password for you according to your needs – length, complexity, types of symbols, and case sensitive. It can even be set to make the password easy to say or read.
Here’s how it works:
- Visit the LastPass Password Generator page
- Customize your password according to the requirements of the account and your preferences
- Copy your password and use it
If you find it difficult to create and manage your many accounts’ login in, give LastPass a try. This password manager will help you keep track of passwords and what sites they’re intended for.
LastPass uses a master password or your fingerprint to identify you. After logging in to LastPass, you can view and edit your passwords and their associated sites, as well as your usernames and the website you’re accessing.
